Explanation and Analysis—Connie and June:

In “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” Connie’s sister June acts as her foil, meaning that the ways in which Connie is different from June reveal important qualities of Connie’s character. The following passage, which comes near the beginning of the story, establishes the two as foils:

[Connie’s] sister June was twenty-four and still lived at home. She was a secretary in the high school Connie attended, and if that wasn't bad enough—with her in the same building—she was so plain and chunky and steady that Connie had to hear her praised all the time by her mother and her mother's sisters. June did this, June did that, she saved money and helped clean the house and cooked and Connie couldn't do a thing, her mind was all filled with trashy daydreams.
